Mages of the House of Nature commune with the great forces of the verdant wilds. Great beasts and small heed them, the wild winds and the silent vastness of the forests do their bidding. It is said of Thumafol, one of the oldest, that he never died, but mossy and oaken himself, became one with the great Grunwald Wood, there to slumber until needed again. Satyrs, the people of Nature, seem overly playful at first glance, but can be disciplined when danger looms, and are fine archers.
